Also, can you post here a screen shot of your access right inlay?

Thanks

Re: Starwind 5 HA failback

Hi Tom, Yes, we have not included automatic re-synchronization between the nodes alowing administrator to decide what way to synchronize the cluster. Fast sync is an incremental synchronization that only synchronizes the data that was actually changed while one of the nodes was down. So, fast sync i...

Re: Problems in windows 2000 installation

I'm afraid that StarPort will not work properly under Wind2000 :(

Re: Starport SCSI emulation problems

Toni,

What I could suggest is try installing Spotlight by Quest Software on both Pcs - it's quite an intuitive piece of software that will give you the clues to the bottlenecks.

Thanks.

Re: ESXi3.5U4: Not able to add iSCSI networking

What you can do from the StarWind point of view is to "bind" it to listen to a specific network interface. What you are saying totally makes sence in terms of dedicating a separate network and storage segment to iSCSI. Moreover, Vmware recommend doing that for iSCSI SANs. To "bind&quo...

Re: Could not power on device: no space left on device ?

We get the same in our testing lab actually, but that is related to a VMFS (as well as other clustered file systems that you format the images with). It for some reason creates a large overhead, not sure why. In this case the only recommendation would be to create larger image files.

Thanks.

Re: One large iSCSI target or multiple small ones?

Matt,

You are right when saying that there is really a lot of users that don't experience any crashes while using StarWind. The service can really work for months and months without a single failure. I will follow-up with Bob on the status of your issues so that we could get this resolved.

Thanks.

Re: RAM Caching in V5.0

Matt,

Caching will be fully implemented in the next version of StarWind (v 5.1 probably). At the moment caching is not fully implemented.

Re: Non Active

Are there any Windows updates that make StarWind PC reboot? Also, is there 1 NIC interface only to the StarWind PC, or are there several ones (MPIO enabled)?

Thanks.

Re: Should it work on 2008 R2 (x64) for AoE?

I would recommend trying that on a physical machine since virtual machines can sometimes show a similar behaviour in the current build series.

Re: Starport SCSI emulation problems

Toni, When you create a device using StarPort, do you select "Local iSCSI device" or "Remote iSCSI device"? Also, does your card display any error messages or any other types of warnings, or is it just not able to see the target created by StarPort? MS iSCSI Initiator does actual...
